[QUOTE="llamedos, post: 521295, member: 162"] 1 August 2014 | By [URL='http://www.farmersguardian.com/alistair-driver/2.bio']Alistair Driver[/URL] FARMERS will need to bear more of the cost of bovine TB (bTB) testing as efforts are stepped up to improve surveillance for the disease, the head of the Animal Health and Veterinary Laboratories Agency (AHVLA) has suggested. Chris Hadkiss claimed farmers had become ‘heavily reliant’ on Government support and said there needed to be more sharing of costs and responsibility on bTB policy in future. The AHVLA chief executive also raised the prospect of non-vets, including farmers, carrying out more TB testing in future.
